Grant Support

Our grants programme is aimed at supporting families to provide some financial relief when most needed.

We do not provide an exhaustive list of what is eligible in our grants programme as every family has different needs so please contact us prior to application on info@mummysstar.org. Some examples are listed below:

Recompense for partners having to take unpaid leave to support at home beyond their existing leave/paternity leave

Support which may help with bonding with new baby such as costs of baby massage classes etc.

Payment for counselling support, telephone or face to face, if not available through your support services within a short space of time i.e. 3 months waiting

Holistic therapies

Payment for additional child-minding required around appointments or payment for home childcare such as a nanny for a day a week etc. around appointments or post treatment days

Payment for a cleaner in the home.

An Ipad or similar device to allow children to speak to Mummy when she may be in hospital overnight etc.

Holidays (only in cases of terminal diagnosis)

Prescription charges (Republic of Ireland only)

In order to be eligible for our grants programme the family’s child must be under 12 months old at the point of application. Please note that our grants programme operates an upper limit of £700. The exception to this is where sadly a terminal diagnosis has been received in which case this rises to £1,000.
